Chapter 18 Chapter 18 The next morning, an intense...
The next morning, Si Qi was awakened by the violent knocking on the door. She struggled to get up and teleported the person outside the door to the bedside before Si Ruxu opened her eyes.
It was a girl, who looked to be about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, very beautiful, with slightly long hair scattered around casually. Si Qi remembered her eyes at first sight. They were like hooks, captivating. But the owner of these eyes was reflecting the confused emotions in her eyes, brewing like a clear spring.
"Um...what's wrong?" Si Ruxu had just woken up, her voice lazy and hoarse, and she naturally half leaned on Si Qi's body. Last night, she took a lot of effort to carry Si Qi, who was sleeping soundly, to the bedroom, and stayed up very late.
The girl standing by the bed seemed a little uneasy at this time. After a long while, until Si Ruxu fully woke up, her beautiful amber eyes looked at her quietly, as if waiting for her to continue.
The girl's eyes swirled around Si Qi's face, and then she laughed softly, "I told you a long time ago that you brought someone back with you, but why didn't you say it was your partner?"
Si Ruxu curled her fingers and looked at Si Qi calmly. The other party looked down at her, his clear eyes reflecting her background. Her heart suddenly ached for no reason, only for a moment, so short that she thought it was an illusion.
"Well, is there anything wrong?" Si Ruxu's voice was very light. The person in front of her was the deputy captain of her team, whom she picked up in the ruins. She refused to say her name, only saying that her surname was Lin.
After Si Ruxu denied her name "Lin Ruxu" many times, she finally agreed and said that her new name should be Lin Ruxu.
Lin Xu is a gentle and meticulous person with a stable temperament. She is the calmest among all the members of her team. Unless the base is lost, Si Ruxu really can't think of any reason that can make her so panicked that she comes to knock on the door early in the morning.
"You experienced the massacre, and...this sister?" Lin Yu curved her eyes, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.
Hearing the word "sister", Si Ruxu began to calculate Si Qi's age.
They fell in love at the age of seventeen, were together for five years, and separated for two years. Na Siqi is twenty-four years old this year, younger than Lin Yu, who is twenty-six years old, so there is nothing wrong with calling her sister.
"It's rare for you to be so free... I didn't intend to disturb you, but something happened suddenly. Our team disbanded last night. Except for me, the rest of us all quit."
As Lin Yu spoke, she observed Si Ruxu's expression. Seeing that she looked normal, she breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that she had already noticed. These people were all promoted and trained by Si Ruxu, and she was really worried that Si Ruxu would be upset.
"Well, it's the work of those old bones. But there's no point in keeping people who leave after a little reward. Let them go."
Si Ruxu and Lin Xu briefly exchanged information, and Si Qi listened quietly beside them.
She silently sorted out the information in her mind. Several powerful bases had united, and the weak bases had been merged into one large base. So now the bases almost did not compete with each other for resources, and most chose to distribute according to contribution.
There are also bases that have begun preparing to freeze and store human memories and build hibernation chambers. If we cannot survive this apocalypse, we cannot let civilization end here.
Si Qi thought it was a bit ridiculous. Natural disasters involved all aspects of land, water, air and underground. After building these, how should we protect them from being destroyed? It would be better to put energy and resources into improving human combat effectiveness.
Si Qi had initially been uninterested until Si Ruxu told Lin Yu that the massacre was actually the future world. She then gave Lin Yu a second look. Si Ruxu hadn't shared this information with the base commander, suggesting that Lin Yu was more trustworthy than the base commander.
She silently remembered it in her heart, and used Si Ruxu's attitude towards everyone to divide people into good and bad.
When she sent Lin Yu out, she looked at Si Qi with interest and teasing eyes, "This is the first time I see her so delicate and lovely in someone else's arms. What, did you know each other before?"
Delicate and charming? Si Qi felt that Si Ruxu had been too pretentious just now. It was as if she was deliberately letting others know how close they were.
"It's my ex-wife." Before Si Qi could answer Lin Xu's question, he heard Si Ruxu's voice from behind. The woman had finished washing up and was holding two slices of toast. She handed one of them to Si Qi's lips affectionately.
Si Qi took a bite, and the soft and dense texture of the bread made her eyes light up. She took the remaining half and took small bites.
The conditioned reflex of biting bread did not affect her thinking. She still felt her brain buzzing because of Si Ruxu's words - ex-wife.
Why did he recognize her? They had clearly met before, but they just passed by as strangers. Si Qi remembered his ability. After Lin Xu left with a half-smile, Si Ruxu closed the door, but was hugged by a warm body.
"Ex, wife."
The two words were spoken one by one as if squeezed out from between teeth, with a hint of danger.
Si Ruxu turned around. Si Qi didn't hold her tightly, so she could easily break free, but she didn't. She faced Si Qi, stroked her cheek with her right hand, and looked at her slightly red eyes.
She was gently pressed against the door, her eyes gentle and hazy, indulging in this feeling, sober and fallen, "What are you thinking about?"
Si Ruxu's last tone trembled a little. She had done nothing, but gave people the illusion that she was being bullied.
Si Ruxu thought, if Si Qi had this kind of desire for her, if this could make Si Qi completely serve her, then Si Qi could do whatever he wanted to her.
She gently turned her head, wanting to kiss Si Qi's lips. As the distance got closer and closer, she could feel Si Qi's slightly rapid breathing, but Si Qi dodged it. She tilted her head an inch, leaving the tip of her ear red.
Si Qi looked over seriously, looking into Si Ruxu's slightly puzzled eyes, she said softly, "Si Ruxu, do I have the qualifications to be used by you?"
It was a very light sentence, but word by word hit Si Ruxu's heart, causing her to feel a little sad, and some pain that she herself didn't even notice, which was so subtle and deep that it penetrated into her bones.
Si Ruxu suddenly remembered the first time she met Si Qi many years ago.
The girl was wearing a gray and white school uniform, squatting at the door of the dormitory. The raindrops from the eaves fell along the sharp corners. She held the umbrella carefully, and under the umbrella was a kitten with squinting eyes, taking a lazily nap.
The girl was thin, but the kitten was well raised.
After countless times of disliking Si Qi's kindness and timidity, she suddenly remembered that the one she originally loved was just like that, always gentle and meticulous, not easily angry, and using a soft heart to confront all the oncoming sharpness.
Si Qi's eyes were dark, and he gently let go of Si Ruxu. Si Ruxu was panicked for a moment, and raised her hand to grab the corner of Si Qi's clothes, but when she touched it, she subconsciously curled up her fingers.
A strong sense of uneasiness flooded her whole body, as if she was about to lose something very important.
Si Qi breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. She had been tortured by her obsession for too long. Today she realized that she no longer wanted Si Ruxu that much. Maybe she still loved her, but she just didn't want her.
If the wound is too deep, even if the scab falls off and becomes a scar, it will still hurt slightly when you press it.
She picked up the milk on the table, took a sip, and ate it with the toast. In fact, Si Ruxu didn't need to worry about her betrayal. This deliberate attempt to solidify their relationship was enough. If Si Ruxu continued to provide her with such delicious food and drinks, she would never leave him.
Si Ruxu walked over silently and sat opposite Si Qi. The two of them understood each other tacitly, and no one mentioned it. Si Ruxu didn't have a big appetite. She noticed out of the corner of her eye that after Si Qi finished eating, he took some more bread slices, scraped some bread sauce with a knife, spread it on the bread, and handed it to Si Qi.
Si Qi curved her lips to express her thanks. Just as she was about to take a bite, the whole house suddenly fell into darkness. She was alert for a moment, stuffed the whole bread into her mouth, and then, relying on her memory, she climbed over to the window and opened the bed curtains.
As the sunlight streamed in, a masked man in black appeared in the bedroom where originally there were only two people. The three people fell into an eerie silence.
The lightning in Si Ruxu's palm turned into a long chain, restraining the black-clothed man's hand. "Si Qi, hurry up, take off his mask!"
Si Qi teleported over, and just as her fingers hooked onto the mask, she was bounced away by a huge force. She held on to the mask tightly and was knocked away. Her waist hit the corner of the table, and she suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
The severe pain made her pale. She could hardly stand up and just looked up with difficulty. Under the man's mask was a scarred face. It looked very familiar. He looked like the man who was thrown out in the snow that day, and also like the base commander she had just met yesterday.
Si Ruxu forced herself to calm down, turned her gaze away from Si Qi, and looked at the man in front of her, "It's you."
The man laughed sinisterly a few times, "I still underestimated you. When did you start to doubt me?"
"You've known for a long time that my superpowers are half-wasted, so you poached members of my team unscrupulously. The only people who knew that my superpowers were wasted, besides Si Qi, was the mysterious man who attacked me." Si Ruxu's eyes flickered slightly. She had only guessed originally. After all, there were only a few people in the apocalypse who were stronger than her.
The base commander has not been on a mission for several years. Si Ruxu is not sure about his strength. Si Qi is injured now. The two of them have no chance of winning against the base commander.
She could only try her best to delay time.
She smiled casually, "But I'm still curious why you went to so much trouble to kill me."
The base commander grabbed Si Ruxu's long lightning chain with his bare hands. The smell of burnt palms filled the living room. The next second, the lightning was crushed by him. The corners of his mouth raised with a weird and cruel smile.
"Why? Because you are too upright. What about rebuilding the human order and equality for all? It's the end of the world. Whoever has the strength will be the king. I want everyone to bow down to me." There was a bloodthirsty look on the base commander's face. Si Qi felt that there was a power stirring in her blood.
